Lemony Snicket
A new stand-alone adventure--appropriate for all ages--by Lemony Snicket, one of the twenty-first century's most beloved authors.For more than twenty years, Lemony Snicket has led millions of young readers through a mysterious world of bewildering questions and unfortunate events.

Following a winding trail of clues to solve the mystery of his own demise, Snicket takes us on a thought-provoking tour of his predilections: the proper way to prepare an egg, a perplexing idea called "tzimtzum," the sublime pleasure of swimming in open water, and much else.Poison for Breakfast is a classic-in-the-making that--in the great tradition of modern fables like The Little Prince and The Phantom Tollbooth--will delight readers of all ages.

"I stumbled upon this book while in the bookstore. I was immediately captured by the cover. Very Lemony Snicketesque lol. I fell in love with his books as a kid reading A Series of Unfortunate Events, so I had to snag this one too! This book did not disappoint AT ALL! Same witty humor and the same writing style that I grew to love from him. Excellent book! 10/10!"
"this book is the definition of delightful. it’s weaves philosophical ideas with a plot in a way which truly makes for a pleasant read, unlike many books about philosophy which often make your head ache with the information about knowing nothing. snickett’s unique voice gleams in each page. this is a short but, impactful read that will leave you feeling content, nothing close to as if you’d have eaten poison for breakfast."
"Best. Book. Ever."
